  • I've put a strip of teflon that rubs down on the tracks,,,but that still leaves an icy cover on the track. What I need is probably a double or tripple header to push the blower,,,

  • As winter progresses, the switch stands do disappear, we get tons of deep snow and we end up inside on either the HO or the N scale layout,,,till spring !!

  • The snowblower is on RR wheels, one double axel at the rear and a single axel just under the scoop. It has a RR coupler at the rear and could be pushed,,,,but the problem is that it leaves a thin coat of snow and the wheels under the snowblower tap in on top of the tracks and a loco behind will only spin, no traction, that is why we push it around.  Have a good one !!

  • @ronquebecls I thought of a possible solution to that problem. Perhaps you could add a broom underneath the snowblower to sweep the snow off the railheads. That way you could push it with a locomotive without issue.

  • Good thing your switch stands are nice and tall, otherwise you'd never find them! :)

  • nice!

  • Bet your Glad The Snowblower STOPED when you approched ! A very COOL video

  • Thanks! I could feel the wind in my face!
